ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The Room No:145 Acrylic, graphite on unprimed canvas 95x135cm Streched / Wooden Frame The Room Series; Notes: Space and mood of people inside are interacting. People are effective on space/place and place is on human behavior. I am very much interested in architecture and its effects on people mood and behavior, which leads to behavior patterns that are taken for granted on communities. I am also interested in looking at and observing the effects of architectural differences by nature, on people, from afar makes it easier to make a judgment about the community. The starting point of The Room Series, I can say, that this process of seeing, observing (and even the feeling of watching). “... I love my work where material and texture stand out. On the cotton canvas, where I make a special effort to show its raw form, colors come together with acrylic in a creamy consistency as layers come on-top of each other, sometimes with natural sand and sometimes with sand paste with acrylic/sand mixture of liquid watercolor. Figures come to life with a graphite touch, shadows are formed, the atmosphere gains depth and the story comes to an end…” “... Figures, rarely communicating with each other, and of which I do not comment on how they feel, encapsulate the room. Bright acrylic colors are balanced with pastel tones. All these textures and colors creating contrast is the most characteristic aspect of the Room series…” The Room; A story with a beginning and an end. The subject is human, and space is determined by four walls. Frame defines the border; and life is stagnant in this limited, timeless space. Nothing ever surprises…

Erna Ucar was born in Ankara in 1979 and graduated from the Graphic Design School, Fine Arts Faculty of Hacettepe University in 2001. She lived in Moscow between 2004-2014 and while there became deeply fascinated with Russian Fine Arts.Spending years living in Cyprus, Turkey, Russia, Malaysia and Luxembourg, experiencing life and light in different geographies and cultures has had a great impact on her life and her art. The Room Series is about modern people, the relationships I observe in my immediate environment, popular culture and media, the idiosyncratic moods of crowds from different cultures. Observing different cultures, after spending years living in Cyprus, Turkey, Russia, Malaysia and Luxembourg, experiencing life and light in different geographies and cultures, I realized that modern people live in similar small apartments, same coffee in the morning, we watch same tv shows, listen to the same music, and we work in similar offices in big cities, which brings loneliness at the end. The most special aspect of my technique is combining different chemistries and textures, different materials, raw canvas, graphite, acrylic, and sand; o achieve a harmony fed by contrasts with bright colours accompanying the pastel tones in my colour palette. Different textures with relief-like, fluid and creamy consistency play the leading role. Placing compositions and figures on the canvas for a long time with a unique front-back perspective is the most important stage, making me feel like I’m producing graphic design works with traditional methods, and huge 2D posters with protagonists and extras. My technique carries traces of graphic art with my figures emphasized in the fauvist style, bold colours and a construction free from 2-dimensional perspective.
